All these are fairly easily explicable without the assumption that Silk is 
related to Typhon.

1.  It was Typhon who wanted an heir.  Pas was a potentially immortal 
digitised entity, who didn't need one.  [Perhaps the failure to produce a 
suitable heir was part of Typhon's motivation for creating the Whorl and 
Pas.]

2. We know Silk was an implanted embryo, so it is no surprise that he has 
two sets of parents; his genetic parents back on Urth a thousand years ago, 
and his surrogate parents in the Whorl.

3. The vision of Silk's head on Typhon's body was an illustration created by 
Kypris to encourage Silk to be scanned and joined to Pas in Mainframe.
